Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
To provide a knowledge of the basic management disciplines of Accounting, Economics, Finance, and Statistics.
To allow the student to discuss with professionals in those fields in a well-informed manner.
To enable the student to question professionals in those fields perceptively, and to see through jargon-filled but vacuous argument from those professionals.
To provide a base for further study in those fields as required in the Option courses.
Through the Integrative Project, to enable students to integrate those disciplines in the analysis of a business situation. |
